Sans Normal Nalat 2 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Ava Grand' by Matt Chansky, 'PT Schimetrik' by Paavola Type Studio, 'Galano Grotesque' by René Bieder, and 'Sonny Gothic Vol 2' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, blocky build. Curves are generous and smooth, with softened corners and full bowls that read as near-circular in letters like O, C, and G. Terminals tend to feel blunt and sturdy, and the overall drawing favors solid mass over delicate detailing, producing high legibility at large sizes. Lowercase forms keep simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g), with short extenders and a consistent, even rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where a chunky, friendly impact is desired. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from strong shapes and a rounded, welcoming voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning into a fun, retro display feel rather than a neutral text voice. Its soft geometry and oversized presence give it an upbeat, friendly character that suits attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with soft, geometric shapes—prioritizing bold presence, simple letterforms, and an approachable personality for display typography.
Counters are relatively open for the weight, helping letters like e, a, and s remain readable. The numerals follow the same rounded, sturdy logic, with particularly heavy, simplified silhouettes that hold up well in punchy, high-contrast layouts.
